Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

For Nina Askew, turning forty means freedom--from the ex-husband, freedom from their stuffy suburban home, freedom to focus on what she wants for a change. And what she wants is something her ex always vetoed--a puppy. A bouncy, adorable puppy.

Instead she gets…Fred.

Overweight, middle-aged, a bit smelly and obviously depressed, Fred is light-years from perky. But he does manage to put Nina in the path of Alex Moore, her gorgeous, younger-by-a-decade neighbor.

Alex seems perfect--he's a sexy, seemingly sane, surprisingly single E.R. doctor--but the age gap convinces Nina that anyone but Alex would be better relationship material. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's the young, dog-loving doc she wants to sit and stay!

Synopsis:

For Nina Askew, turning 40 means freedom--from the ex-husband whose career always came first and from their stuffy suburban home. But with every silver-haired stiff she dates, the more she suspects it's her young, dog-loving neighbor that she wants to sit and stay!

Older Nina finally dumps the husband and his ways that aren't hers and sets off to do what she wants instead of what he wanted. First on the list- get a perky pup. But fate hands her death row Fred, who is on his last day at the pound when she visits. Bringing home a older, smelly oreo lovin' Basset has in store many surprises, including a younger neighbor Nina doesn't think will work out in the love department. Leave it to Fred , who knows best. In the end this might be a cheesy romance read, but any basset lover will fall in love with it.
